Another successful ESOMAR Congress in 2009

Cint were very pleased to meet so many participants at the event this year. Although
attendance was down and many market research agencies are feeling the pinch, for
Cint this has meant more agencies turning to us to reduce their panel management
costs and commercialize their panels. Again this year, Cint’s after party was well
attended, attracting half of those who attended the Congress. The feedback was that
many appreciated the opportunity to network and enjoy themselves. This year we also
featured CAT, Cint Automated Tracker, which not only improves fieldwork accuracy
it dramatically cuts down the time spent on managing tracker surveys.
If you did not get the opportunity to speak to us at the event or for those who
did not attend we look forward to updating you on our recent upgrades and new products.
